Nadia realizes she lost her house keys and calls the café where she had lunch to look for them.
Nadia comes home late from work. She looks for her keys in her bag. She checks the bag two times. The keys are not there.
She thinks about her day. She had the keys at lunch. She used them to lock her bike. She thinks she left them at the café.
Nadia calls the café on her phone. A man answers the phone. "Hello, this is the Green Cup Café," he says.
"Hi, I think I left my keys there," Nadia says. "Can you check the tables, please?"
"One moment, please," the man says. He walks around the café. "Yes! I see a key ring here."
"Great news," Nadia says. "I will come right now."
She walks back to the café. It is only ten minutes away. The man gives her the keys.
"Here you are," he says. "Have a good evening."
Nadia takes the keys and checks them two times. Yes, these are her keys.
She walks home and opens her door. She puts the keys in a small bowl. The bowl sits by the front door. Now she will always find them there.
